Description James Leotta CLA 2012-05-10 18:50:08 EDT
Build Identifier: ALL

In Paragraph within the package org.eclipse.ui.internal.forms.widgets;

there is a defined a string

public static final String[] PROTOCOLS = {"http://", "https://", "ftp://"};

This is used in the FormText widget to convert to hyperlinks.  Adding "file://" would be extremely helpful and quite easy to do.  If this injects a security issue then it could be made optional and require a bit more work.

Thanks.

Reproducible: Always

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

If the bug is still relevant, please remove the "stalebug" whiteboard tag.
